About the host

Hosted by Dana Connolly

Host profile image
I started hosting as a continuation of my travel-obsession after I had my kids. Vacations aren't *quite* the same as they used to be in the child-free days, but they can still be fun and (relatively) stress-free when traveling in a family-centric environment.

Why they chose this property

We have stayed in several towns in Southwestern Michigan and have always enjoyed the food/beverage scene and the proximity to the Chicago area. Union Pier is about 2 hrs from Chicagoland, close to beaches, close to wineries/distillieries/breweries, with a variety of dining options, making it a great local destination.

What makes this property unique

Our property is very family-friendly, and we have put alot of focus on amenities that will make your stay most enjoyable. We hope you love staying at Shady Tree Cottage as much as we do!
